Chu Qianchen watched this scene quietly from the side, and among the people present, the calmest person was probably her.

She smiled self-deprecatingly in her heart, and her mood was very calm: it turned out that she had encountered such a game within a game in her previous life.

At that time, she was both wooden and weak, and after hurting her face, she only knew sadness and self-loathing, and never thought that there was such and such a hidden secret behind the "accident".

Even after being reborn, she only suspected at first that in her previous life, Chu Qianling would have bad intentions and hurt her face for the sake of Gu Nanzhao and the second prince's concubine.

Even in the past month, she gradually discovered that her elegant and luxurious eldest sister seemed to be hiding a lot of secrets, but Chu Qianchen still never suspected that Chu Qianhuang would have something to do with her disfigurement in her previous life.

Chu Qianchen stared at the two girls who were accusing and prevaricating each other, and said nothing.

These days, she watched Chu Qianling jump up and down with cold eyes, and she also thought about it carefully and repeatedly.

On that day, she would suddenly go to the garden to find Gu Nanzhao, and would agree to dance the sword with Chu Qianling, all out of the guidance of Liuli.

With Chu Qianling's temperament, it is not surprising that she can ruin her appearance with her heart, but if she wants to set up a game, advance step by step, and do it deliberately, I am afraid it is not something that her brain can do.

Chu Qianchen had to wonder if Chu Qianling would also be used by anyone......

Chu Qianchen wanted to find out the truth, so after knowing that Qingyu had hurt his face, Chu Qianchen began to cast this net step by step with Shiquan Paste as bait, just to pry Chu Qianling's mouth open.

It turned out to be Chu Qianhuang.

This answer made Chu Qianchen both surprised and sighed subtly.

Chu Qianchen looked away, since she got the truth, she didn't care how these two accused each other and passed the buck.

Her gaze fell on Shen's body.

She saw the sadness and disappointment in Shen's expression, and an indescribable distress welled up in her heart.

In the past two lifetimes, Chu Qianchen had never seen the Shen family so sad.

It was only when Brother Mu had an accident a month ago that the Shen family lost his square inch for the first time, and he didn't see the elegance of his usual days.

"......" Chu Qianchen's throat was slightly difficult, and she wanted to say something to Shen, but she couldn't make a sound, her heart seemed to be tightly held in the palm of her hand, and she was a little uncomfortable.

Although she did not deliberately take advantage of her mother-in-law, the current situation is also the result of her single-handedly layout.

She didn't want to see her uncomfortable......

Chu Qianchen subconsciously took half a step towards the Shen family, and at this time, Chu Qianhuang sobbed and grabbed Shen's right hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Mother! You trust me. “

Chu Qianchen silently retracted his steps.

"Mother," Chu Qianhuang's delicate and beautiful face was full of tears, her little face was slightly raised, as bright as the bright moon, her eyes were tearful, Chu Chu was pitiful, "I just want to comfort the third sister, and I don't know why the third sister misunderstood." I, I ......"

"It's that I haven't thought it through enough."

"I shouldn't have told the third sister that my grandmother intended to choose a side concubine for Cousin Zhao between her and the second sister, I didn't expect that the third sister would have a crooked mind because of this."

At this point, she couldn't cry anymore, choked up and couldn't go on.

Liu's face became more and more ugly, and he pointed at Chu Qianhuang's nose and reprimanded: "It turns out that it was really you who instigated it!" ”

"It turns out that you hurt Sister Ling!"

She said, her daughter has always been well-behaved, sensible and obedient, how could she think of hurting people with a sword, it was instigated by this little slut.

It's so hateful!

Moreover, listening to Chu Qianhuang's words, it is clear that she wants to put the responsibility on Sister Ling'er, and she wants to say that Sister Ling is vicious, so she will misinterpret her meaning? !

Liu stared at Chu Qianhuang like thunder, and his hands trembled with anger.

"Sister-in-law, you have always boasted of being strict in governing the family, and today you have to give an explanation to our mother and daughter." Liu said to Shen with a sharp voice, "This Chu Qianhuang, do you punish or not?!" ”

Shen looked at Chu Qianhuang steadily, and the two crescent moon eyebrows were tightly wrinkled together.

In addition to disappointment, there was also a deep powerlessness in her heart.

Chu Qianhuang is her eldest daughter, and she has been raised by her since she was born.

Since she was a child, Chu Qianhuang has never let her worry about it, she has always been the most well-behaved and caring daughter, smart and generous, and has good conduct, how could she ...... How did it come to this?

Shen covered his chest, feeling his heart throb for a while.

"Mother," Chu Qianhuang knelt on the ground and lowered his head to admit his mistake, "I was wrong." ”

She knew that Shen was angry, and now it was useless for her to justify anything, it would only make Shen even more angry.

Shen felt as if the strength of his whole body had been drained.

As a mother, she wanted to believe Chu Qianhuang's words, and believed that she did not harm Chu Qianchen, but it was difficult for her to ignore the words Chu Qianling said, the provocative meaning in those words.

Shen really didn't understand why her daughter deliberately instigated Chu Qianling, just like her daughter said before, she had no reason to harm Chu Qianchen at all.

The sisters are fighting each other, and it is also the reputation of the girl of the Chu family who is bad, and it is not good for her, it is impossible for her daughter not to understand this, why should she do such a thing that hurts others and is not beneficial to herself!

Shen felt even more uncomfortable in his chest.

"Sister-in-law!" Seeing that Shen was silent, Liu said dissatisfiedly, "Do you want to protect Sister Huang?" ”

Chu Qianhuang lowered his head, his shoulders drooped listlessly, and the whole person looked sluggish.

Shen closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were tired, and he said weakly: "Sister Huang, you don't have to enter the palace again." ”

What she meant, she would refuse the princess's reading for Chu Qianhuang.

"......" Chu Qianhuang, who was kneeling on the ground, clenched his fists tightly and raised his head in disbelief.

This princess companion was won by her among the nobles of the capital, whether it was for her or for the Chu family, it was extremely glorious, how could she say that if she gave up, let her give up!

Chu Qianhuang's pupils shrank sharply, thinking of the scene in her dream and her future......

Chu Qianhuang's body was tense, and on her beautiful little face, her face was pale, looking stubborn and injured.

In the past, if she was not happy at all, Shen would talk to her softly and make her happy, even if she did something wrong, Shen would only teach her patiently.

But this time, Shen Shi's eyes were not moved in the slightest, and he continued: "Go to the family law. ”

Chu Qianhuang's slender and soft shoulders trembled slightly, and his bright eyes were full of water.

She obviously admitted her mistake, and her mother also clearly said that she would punish her and not let her be a princess companion, so why should she use family law on her?

Mama Chen on the side was also shocked, and looked at Shen hesitantly. The eldest girl has grown so big, she has always been held in the palm of her hand by the elders in the family, and she has never been said a word heavy.

"Go get it." Shen said undoubtedly.

Since her daughter has done such a thing, whether it is intentional or "unintentional", it is not something that can be put down gently. It's that she didn't teach her daughter well. My daughter is thirteen years old, and if she doesn't discipline her well, it's really too late.

Mama Chen hesitated for a moment, and finally asked the maid to get the ring ruler.

After a while, the maid came with a ring ruler.

The bamboo board, which was more than an inch wide, two feet long, was shaved thinly, but when it was whipped on the skin, the force was not small, and no more than three times would see the bruises, and ten times the skin would break......

"Twenty." Shen commanded.

"Madam," Mama Chen frowned and said unbearably, "the eldest girl's hands still have to write and play the piano." ”

These twenty ring rulers are enough to make the skin of both hands open, and they can't even hold the pen.

This is probably too severe.

The eldest girl is the eldest daughter, and she can be said to be a collection of thousands of favors in the Hou Mansion, what reason does she have to target a concubine's younger sister, not to mention, the second girl has always been silent, not fighting or grabbing, soft as a dough.

The eldest girl was not thoughtful enough, so she followed Chu Qianling's words and comforted her a few words, but she did something wrong with good intentions.

After all, she is only a thirteen-year-old child, how can she be all-encompassing, in the final analysis, it is also the fault of the third girl for her own evil intentions, so she misinterpreted the kindness of the eldest girl, and as a result, she suffered herself.

Even if you want to be punished, you can't punish the big girl alone!

Not only Mama Chen, but even the second lady Liu didn't think that Chu Qianhuang really did it on purpose.

Compared with Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang, it is simply one on the ground and one in the sky, and Chu Qianhuang doesn't need to bother to deal with Chu Qianchen at all.

However, Liu naturally doesn't think that her daughter will be wrong because she has a bad mind, in her opinion, it is just her daughter's tendon, and she is infatuated with the second prince, so she will think about it.

Now seeing that the Shen family is going to go to the family law, the Liu family feels a little weak, she is afraid that after the Shen family finishes beating Chu Qianhuang, she will beat Chu Qianling, so she quickly protected her daughter in her arms, and said with a tough attitude: "Sister-in-law, if you want to discipline your daughter, we will go back first." ”

"But you must give an explanation to our mother and daughter about this matter! My sister Ling can't hurt her face in vain. ”

As he spoke, Liu glanced at Chu Qianchen, who was standing aside, meaning to ask Shen to come forward and give Chu Qianling's jar of Ten Perfect Cream to Chu Qianling as compensation.

Of course, if Chu Qianchen was more interesting, it would be better to hand over the ointment himself!

Chu Qianchen hung his head and didn't answer at all, as if he didn't understand what Liu meant at all.

Liu secretly said in his heart that he didn't know how to lift.

She hugged her daughter with pity, and pulled her out of the main courtyard with half a drag and half a drag, "Sister Ling, let's go." ”

As she walked, she whispered in Chu Qianling's ear: "Don't worry, my mother will definitely bring that jar of perfect ointment for you......"

Although there is still a jar of green jade, they can't go and grab what people have used.

If this spreads, Sister Ling will inevitably have an arrogant and domineering reputation, and besides, they can't afford to lose this face.

Anyway, Chu Qianchen still has a can here!

At this time, the sun is about to set completely, the sky is a dull yellow, and night is about to fall.

Shen didn't look at Liu's mother and daughter, and she didn't care if they left, she lowered her eyes and looked at Chu Qianhuang who was kneeling on the ground, and only said one word: "Fight!" ”

Mama Chen couldn't bear to turn her face away, and one of her mothers-in-law picked up the ring ruler and hit Chu Qianhuang's palm fiercely.

"Smack!"

One, two, three......

Chu Qianhuang endured it at first, but after a few strokes, she couldn't help it, she bit her lower lip, a low cry came out between her lips and teeth, her eyes were red, and she was very pitiful.

Shen looked at Chu Qianhuang, and his heart hurt as if it was being pinched.

Her daughter has been in pain since she was a child, and she is reluctant to even move a finger on weekdays, and she is distressed to see her finger pricked by an embroidery needle.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

This time the ring ruler seemed to hit Shen's heart.

It hurts my heart.

Finally, the twenty ring rulers were finished.

Chu Qianhuang's palm was already red and swollen, the delicate skin had bloomed, and blood had oozed out from between the wounds.

She knelt on the ground weakly, looked up at Shen, her eyes were even redder, and her cherry lips pursed stubbornly, as if asking, this is all right.

"Mama Chen," Shen looked away, and forced his heart to harden, "Send the eldest girl to the small Buddha hall, kneel for ten days, and let her calm down." ”

Mama Chen moved her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and finally persuaded her: "Madam, the eldest girl already knows that she is wrong. ”

"Go ahead."

Shen Shi said lightly, once she made a decision, she would not change.

She said to herself in her heart that her daughter is still young and can still teach!

She didn't want her daughter to be more and more wrong.

Only when the pain is in place, people will remember the lesson, will they learn to behave, and in the future, they will no longer act recklessly.

Mama Chen sighed lowly, personally went over to support Chu Qianhuang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly: "Big girl, be careful, don't touch your hands." ”

"It's me who is wrong, and my mother is right." Chu Qianhuang was even more listless.

She lowered her head, and the black green silk hung down a few wisps, slightly covering her cheeks and the resentment that flashed in her eyes.

With the support of Mama Chen, she slowly stood up.

Chu Qianchen didn't care if Chu Qianhuang really knew his mistake, and looked at Shen in a daze. Seeing her sad and disappointed appearance, Chu Qianchen also felt a little inexplicably sad.

"Mother."

Chu Qianchen called softly, she didn't know what she could do, she just wanted to talk to her, so she walked over to her.

But when she met Shen's calm eyes, Chu Qianchen didn't know what to say, and she was a little annoyed.

She thought about it, took out the small porcelain jar with an orchid on a white background from her sleeve pocket, and handed it to Shen.

What she meant was that whatever the Shen family did.

Chu Qianchen's black and white eyes looked at Shen without blinking, his cherry lips were slightly curved, he looked delicate and soft, and his eyes carried a kind of admiration.

Her long eyelashes trembled, and Shen couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, hugged her slender shoulder, and said, "You take it." ”

This is Chu Qianchen's thing, Chu Qianchen can give it to whoever he wants, there is no need to cheapen the second room.

"Sister Chen, you go back first." Shen said again.

Chu Qianchen nodded, "Mother, you should also rest early." ”

She blessed her body and retired, and before leaving, she still stuffed the jar of perfect ointment to the Shen family.

She pondered in her heart, and asked Amber to bring a pot of calming medicinal tea over for a while.

Shen watched Chu Qianchen leave with a smile, and then rubbed the corners of his aching forehead, completely ignoring Chu Qianhuang staring at the two of them as he got up.

Chu Qianhuang bit her lower lip slightly, and slowly followed Mama Chen to the small Buddha hall.

Although Shen didn't instruct, Mama Chen still asked people to invite Dr. He from Baicaotang to come over.

For the doctor, Chu Qianhuang's injury is easy to treat, Dr. He quickly bandaged Chu Qianhuang's hands, and instructed her not to get wet, not to use a pen, not to use a needle or anything before the wound scabbed.

After Dr. He left, Chu Qianhuang knelt alone on the futon in front of the Bodhisattva.

On an April night, the weather was a little cool, and there was a thunderclap in the distance, and soon it was pouring rain outside.

In the small Buddha hall, there was only Chu Qianhuang alone.

Her hand was in pain, and even though she was drugged, it was almost numb in pain.

The whole person was also a little dizzy, the candlelight in the small Buddha hall flickered and flickered, and the thunder outside became louder and louder, which made her a little scared.

Before she knew it, she closed her eyes in a daze......

It wasn't until the sound of the gong of the third watch came from outside that she woke up suddenly.

Her body was covered in cold sweat, almost soaking her middle coat.

She dreamed again.

She is a wisp of ghost from a thousand years later, and a year ago, she became Chu Qianhuang.

From that moment on, her memories and habits were completely integrated with "Chu Qianhuang".

She felt that she was Chu Qianhuang, and Chu Qianhuang was her.

On the same night, she had a dream.

In her dream, she saw the tragic life of "Chu Qianhuang".

Before the age of thirteen, "Chu Qianhuang" was the proud daughter of the sky until that day......

Cui Mama was caught when she was working on the rockery, and then a big secret was involved, and from that day on, everything changed.

"Chu Qianhuang" sank into the abyss step by step, while Chu Qianchen stepped on her back, gnawed on her flesh and blood, and enjoyed all the honor.

She was unwilling.

Obviously, "Chu Qianhuang" did nothing wrong, why should she become Chu Qianchen's stepping stone!

Since she is here, of course she has to try to save the innocent "Chu Qianhuang".

She didn't know what day it was, but she only knew that it was March, so from the beginning of March, she was on the Bixiao Tower every day until that day when she waited for Mama Cui.

She called Mama Cui away early, thinking that everything could change, but it turned out to be ......

Chu Qianhuang looked up and looked straight ahead, leaning against the wall with a red sandalwood table with a carved lotus pattern, and a dignified and solemn white jade Guanyin statue was enshrined in the Buddhist shrine on the case.

Sandalwood was still burning on the table, and wisps of green smoke rose from the enamel three-legged incense burner on the incense table.

Outside the house, several lightning bolts were struck in the air, reflecting the light and darkness in the room, and even the white jade Guanyin in the Buddha shrine seemed to be condensed a little, with a kind of detachment looking down on all beings.

Chu Qianhuang stared at the statue of Guanyin with a firm expression.

Even if there are gods and Buddhas, she will not accept her fate, she must change her life against the sky and walk out of a splendid avenue!

Becoming the companion of the third princess is something she has fought hard for, and only in this way can she get the opportunity that is enough for her to soar.

But—

Shen ruined it all.

Originally, she thought that the Shen family was just scaring her with the companion reading, but the Shen family made her hands like this, she couldn't enter the palace for a while, I am afraid that it would take more than half a month to be well, and the third princess Golden Branches and Jade Leaves, it is impossible to wait for her all the time, and the queen mother will definitely choose a new companion for the third princess.

Chu Qianhuang bit his lower lip slightly.

She finally came to this point, but she was ruined by Shen in just a few words......

If she continues like this, will she repeat the mistakes of her dreams?

"Boom!"

Outside the house, there was another flash of lightning and thunder.

Chu Qianhuang's willow eyes were dark and deep as a pool.

There was a "squeak" and a slight push on the door from behind.

Baoqin quietly slipped into the small Buddha hall, closed the door again, and walked quickly to Chu Qianhuang's side.

Although there was no one else here except their master and servant, Baoqin still lowered her voice and said, "Girl, Mrs. Tai called Mrs. just now, and Mrs. Tai will definitely let someone release you soon." ”

Baoqin looked at Chu Qianhuang very distressedly, and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief.

How could my own girl have suffered like this, and Mrs. actually got it, it's really ruthless!

Not only did Baoqin think so, but Mrs. Tai also felt the same, and she couldn't help but say it:

"Ah Zhi, you, your heart is inevitably too ruthless!"

As soon as Mrs. Tai heard about Chu Qianhuang's punishment, she called the Shen family to Rongfutang, and she was anxious, angry and distressed. Chu Qianhuang is her most beloved granddaughter.

Shen: "......"

Shen didn't speak, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Mrs. Tai sighed, and her tone softened a little, "Hit the child's body, and it hurts in the mother's heart." I also know that you are deeply responsible for love. ”

"However, the punishment has also been punished, and the matter of this princess's companion reading must not be reversed."

Mrs. Tai looked straight at Shen, her eyes were firm and unquestionable.

Their Yongding Marquis Mansion has declined, and it is an honor to be a princess's companion, and it can also let people see that they are still full of heritage in the Yongding Marquis Mansion.

Moreover, the third princess is the princess of the queen, the prince's own sister, for this companion, the nobles of the capital broke the sky, and it was also Sister Huang who was really good enough to get this opportunity.

Now that Chu Qianhuang has only been a companion for a month, he is about to resign, isn't this a slap in the face of the Chu family?!

Mrs. Tai thought that she was reasoning with Shen in a good voice and analyzing the interests and disadvantages, if Shen knew the general situation, she should go down the steps.

No, Shen only said a short sentence: "Mother, Sister Huang did something wrong." ”

The implication of this sentence is clear.

Mrs. Tai's face sank, and her face sank again in an instant, and she didn't know what Shen's elm head was thinking.

"Ah Zhi, Sister Huang is your daughter, you were born in October. Mother and daughter are connected, you don't really think that Sister Huang really deliberately provoked Sister Ling to hurt Sister Chen, right?! Mrs. Tai said.

Mama Wang also helped Chu Qianhuang speak on the side: "Big lady, the eldest girl has always loved her younger brothers and sisters, and she has good intentions. ”

The three girls are all Mrs. Tai's own granddaughters, so Mama Wang didn't dare to say that the other two were wrong, only that Chu Qianhuang was good.

Shen didn't want to fight with Mrs. Tai for this, so he said: "Mother, the doctor said that Sister Huang can't hold a pen for a month, let alone play the piano. ”

"If my mother thinks she can be a companion like this, go ahead."

Mrs. Tai's eyes widened suddenly when she heard this, her whole body trembled with anger, and her voice trembled slightly: "You...... You ......"

This Shen family is inevitably too wanton, and she doesn't think about the Hou Mansion, she is simply heartless!

Mama Wang hurriedly gave Mrs. Tai a good breath.

Shen stood up and blessed himself, "Mother, if there is nothing to do, the daughter-in-law will retreat first." ”

Without waiting for Mrs. Tai to respond, the Shen family retreated directly.

"......" Mrs. Tai was even more angry, her chest rose and fell violently, and she wanted to say something but did not say it in the end.

Mama Wang handed Mrs. Tai another cup of warm tea, and Mrs. Tai took a sip of tea before she relieved herself and gritted her teeth and said: "Ah Xiao is right, Shen Zhi relies on the support of the Mu State Mansion, and she is becoming less and less concerned about our Chu family, and even my mother-in-law is fighting against it again and again!" ”

"Poor Sister Huang, her good future was ruined by her mother!!"

Mrs. Tai was so angry that her voice trembled, her face was extremely ugly, and her fingers clutched the handkerchief.

Mama Wang didn't dare to take this question, after all, the Shen family was not an aunt or concubine, she was Mrs. Hou of the Hou Mansion, and she had a fate, even if Mrs. Tai was dissatisfied with her, she couldn't do anything to her.

Mama Wang continued to give Mrs. Tai a good breath, but she could only smile and say: "Mrs. Tai, you also said that the eldest lady has a deep love for the eldest girl, and she is responsible." ”

Mrs. Tai still held her breath in her heart, and drank two more sips of tea, but her face was still not good-looking.

The Shen family has always been arrogant, and Mrs. Tai's senses for this eldest daughter-in-law are very subtle, on the one hand, she likes her background, and on the other hand, she often feels aggrieved because she is not as respectful to her as several other daughters-in-law.

Mrs. Tai sometimes wants to let the Shen family learn some lessons, but the Mu Guo Mansion has been in full swing for many years, and her son's next errands will also rely on the help of the Shen family. Concubine Chu also often told her that she should be closer to the Shen family, saying that the emperor wanted to use the Shen family's place for more than these years.

Mrs. Tai rubbed her eyebrows, looking tired.

------Off topic------

Good morning.
